how to make a small change for apps installed under /site-packages dir

hi all,

I installed an app called idios into python2.6/site-packages/idios dir,

now I need to make a small change, adding the following line(just for purpose of explaining this question)

@login_required

to one of the functions defined in idios/views.py

The way I can think of is I can copy all the app's source .py files into my project/apps dir, then I can make whatever changes I want,

but seems that's against the principle of using those apps as library.

is there a better way of doing that?

or it's just the nature of any django apps:

if you need to modify anything in the urls.py ,views.py or models.py,

you just grab the source and make is as a local project app?

I know for template files I can just copy individual file into my project dir and leave the rest under /site-packages,

but how about the .py files?

thanks,

Tom
